Dario Trapani, Medical Oncologist at the European Institute of Oncology, shared a post by Elisabetta Munzone, Director of Research Unit in Medical Senology at the European Institute of Oncology, on X, adding:
“Investing on harmonization to deliver health for all – not fragmentation in silos, has been the Italian key to have the best NHS in the world, wt the highest survival of people with cancer! A system where excellence is celebrated 4 *institutions and not 4 *system is population failure!”
Quoting Elisabetta Munzone’s post:
“EHRs have the potential to revolutionize healthcare, if they’re harmonized. In Italy, fragmented systems hinder care, inflate costs, and stall research. A unified approach is critical for better outcomes and equity.”
The Italian health data system is broken
